The 2020 presidential race is heating up and the candidates are doing everything they can sway any remaining undecided voters.
However, things are getting personal, and now Lara Trump has met with backlash after appearing to "mock" of 77-year-old Joe Biden's stutter during a Women for Trump rally in Iowa.
Trump, who is also a senior adviser to the president, said: "I feel kind of sad for Biden... I'm supposed to want him to fail at every turn, but every time they turn to him I'm like, 'Joe, can you get it out? Le''s get the words out, Joe.'"
The incident took place during an interview with CNN on Tuesday.
In the video below, Lara is called out by Jake Tapper for mocking Biden's stutter:

Referring to this comment, Jake Tapper asked: "How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?"
Trump replied: "First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden is very clearly a cognitive decline."
However, Tapper did not buy Trump's response and called her out for speaking about the Democratic presidential candidate in this way.
Tapper said: "I think that you were mocking his stutter and I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline."
He went on to end the interview with Lara early and sarcastically concluded it by saying: "I'm sure it was from a place of concern, we all believe that.
People on social media also slammed Lara, 38, for her comments and praised Tapper for his handling of their interview.
One Twitter user wrote: "Jake Tapper is not letting Lara Trump get away with her BS talking points.
"I’m also glad he slammed her for making fun of Biden’s occasional stutter."

A second added: "Lara Trump will be best known as someone who mocked people who stutter.
"No matter what she does for the rest of her life,... that will be her legacy for all of eternity."

Back in August, New Hampshire teen Brayden Harrington praised Joe Biden during the Democratic National Convention.
Earlier this year, Harrington bonded with Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign trail. Speaking about his time with Biden, the youngster said: "Without Joe Biden, I wouldn't be talking to you today.
"About a few months ago, I met him in New Hampshire and he told me we are members of the same club. We stutter."
Check out Brayden's touching speech below:

Biden has previously been outspoken about his stutter, revealing at a CNN town hall earlier this year that he "still occasionally" catches himself stuttering when he is tired.
He added: "It has nothing to do with your intelligence quotient. It has nothing to do with your intellectual makeup."
Lara's reference to the 77-year-old alleged cognitive decline comes after Donald Trump pictured a photoshopped picture of Biden in a nursing home.
